Thanks! I was fortunate that there was a road lamp nearby which shone on the couple. =) I just did some processing on the colours.

[21] Xiao-ba. As shown in HK dramas, you stop this mode of transport by shouting out to the bus driver.

[22] Mongkok. Busy streets.

[23] Tram en route up to the Peak.

[24] View from Victoria Peak. You can see the whole of central and, on the opposite bank, kwoloon.
